Who is going to team up and write the first and/or definitive book on hognoses including color & pattern morphs, husbandry and biology? I think we need one... geez, even a Bartlett's one would be passable. I haven't run across one yet.

I was wondering the same thing, although I dont need to know much more about them, I think it would be a cool book to display to my book shelf.

I support this idea in 100 %. It would be good way to promote hognose and pictures with colour morphs would be stunning !

Although it's not the in depth book containing much morph info, Jenea Wood has done a good job with an entry level book that works as an introduction to the species. Here's a link.

I started working on two during the off season. Between training, breeding and a hectic life it's gonna take a little bit more time. I am planning on making a small $10 variety and a really nice version. I would also like a couple more things to prove out before I finish the big one.

I am in the middle of a huge hognose article... I have gotten the Ok to use photos from several breeders and keepers already... It will be a good read for sure that will cover most, if not all of the hog morphs and how they work genetically... I am about 3/4 done and its looking good so far...
I kept them in the late 80's and bred them in 94 and 95... I stopped working with them because it took a long time to move clutches and my venomous projects consumed my time... I had a daughter born 5 years ago so I had to stop my venomous projects and just got back into hognose snakes again pretty strongly thanks to Brad and Brent... LOL
One thing I have learned over the years is no matter how much you know about a species, there is always something new to learn... If someone came out with a good book on hogs, I would buy it in a second... Especially if it were one of you cats on this site who wrote it... LOL
